Ghettotrapp
 

Made the link pipe up today for the Ghettotrapp (Micron race silencer, Supertrapp end plates) that I'd made last year. Quite pleased with it, and it sits nicely up against the bike. Total weight is a little under 4kg. Sounds well too.

Now that I'm happy with how the link pipe goes together I shall make one for the Titanium silencer to sell.

Hi Tripleton
 

Hi

Can you just make a link pipe??? what is the diameter?

Thanks
:family:

If I was making a link pipe to suit a silencer you already had, then I'd like to have the silencer to make sure it all lined up ok. That's the plan with the Ti pipe. I'm hoping for that one to be around 3kg though.

so you are making a full Ti link and silencer, right ?

looks god so far keep us posted :smilies1349:

RIDE ON

:YouRock:Weii done, looks like a very good fit. Nice one

No, Ti silencer, stainless steel link pipe. I'd do a Ti link pipe, but the costs would be stupid.

ah thats good too what kinda price we takin ?

OK I know this is an old post but just wondering how loud the ghettotrapp was and if you can still make link pipes?

Hullo Mark,
It was quite loud; between the OE Akrapovic and the MTC single silencer loud.
I made another silencer for a friend's F800GS, and a modified link pipe for him.
My OE Akrapovics are wearing out; I had to repair the 2-1 pipe the other day, so I will likely make a new single link pipe up in the new year for another silencer. I want to take it either under the seat and use a CBR600RR silencer with the plate and light below, or a single pipe up the RHS and use an off the shelf Supertrapp.

Thanks for the info. Sounds interesting. Underseat would certainly be different.
I fancied an mtc for ease but I'm running oem panniers so think that's them out of the equation.
I have a supertrapp off an xt500 that I'm considering fitting, not sure if diameter of pipework is close, failing that it'll probably be a micron but either way I'll have to get a link pipe made up

The standard Yam OE 2-1 pipe fits perfectly into a 2" i.d link pipe, which is what I used before. The OE silencer is under-seat with two outlets so to fit a different under-seat silencer isn't too far a leap. It's just the faff then of re-siting the rear light and indicators. However given the prevalence of dash-cams and wannabe trafpol knobbers* I am seriously considering moving my number plate under the seat and thus a little harder to see.




*I do a lot of filtering on my commute, and it only takes one grumpy bod to get the arse on and make my life a bit harder. (I'll take the tin foil hat off now)

Brilliant, that saves me taking the standard off to measure it's diameter, thanks.
Yeah the number of dashcams and folk complaining of other folks driving for nothing is shocking, so putting it at a bit more of an angle is a good shout.
Be interested to see what you do with the exhaust

Well measured the supertrapp end and it's inch and three quarters so I'll have to get the link pipe made with a reduction towards the end :013:

Finished the link pipe and Supertrapp that I reconditioned. Will tidy up the Akra pipes and get them sold off now. Pleased with it, although it's not perfect.

That looks well, I like the exhaust. Seat looks interesting too, any more/full pictures of it?

A friend did it for me to my spec. It's distressed leather with a red diamond stitch. The foam is heavier and taller and was done by Saxon seats back in 2009. I did want fringing on it but he wouldn't do that. Maybe when this one has worn.

Very unusual and unique. Suits it with the white,looks really well
